EXPLORER STANLEY.

Some of His Wonderful Exploits In the Line
of Sensational Prevarication.
Special to the Indianapolis Journaa.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA prominent Western
editor was in the city the other day. on his way
from New York to his home. II saw Stanley,
the African explorer just before he left New
York for England" said he. II have known
Stanley for many years. He and l worked as
reporters on frontier daily newspaper just be-
fore he began his present career. During our
conversation in New York, the other day, he
complained because the American press, led by
my paper, dscredited the announcement. at the
time 1T was made. of the finding OF Livingstone.
Stanley thought it was bitter cut that I, who
had known him SO long, should lead in deprivinc
him of the credit of his work He declared that
the information came here in an authentic form.
and that it was unkind as uncharitable that
it should be discredited
well. had to laugh in the face of Stanley. y
continued the editor. II did not tell him the
real reason discredited his stories and the an
nouncement that he had found Livingstone /
slmply told him that thought it impossible, and
that. inasmuch as l was catering to the public
IL was m! duty TO cas-: discredit upon improbable
statements OF fact Why, when Stanley and I
used to work together on the frontier he was the
most romantic writer / ever saw. He was a law
shlftless fellow. and preferred to sit around in
the of1lce and write fictitious stories and state
ments to going out and getting facts. In those
days there was stream of people pouring out
into Colorado, especially to Pixies Peak, and a
steady ippour to the settlements whence they
came. There were terrible scenes of depriva-
ton every day-famies in destitute circum-
stances returning home; some of them had been
robbed portions of families murdered, etc.
Stanley used to sit down almost every day and
write the most blood curdling stories imaginable
about the adventures Of the pilgrims. Some
times he would write a narrative which filled
columns of space giving. to the finest details &C
counts of murder. punder, starvation, depriva-
ton, etc They would at times be written in the
form OF statements by the survivors, when be
gave names. dates ocalities-every thing in the
most minute detail. and all stated for fact The
stories were intensely interesting and accepted
as fact. Knowing Stanley's capacity for this
kind of work, could not but discredit his un-
supported statement about the finding of Liv-
inestone, or anything else. l guess he has i'm
proved, however, in the matter of veracitv. But
he used to be an unconscionable fabricator."

ATLANTA, Ga JAN lit is understood that
Mr.. Brown will occupy his seat in the Senate
about the middle of January, and will make a
speech in favor of woman suffrage after which
he will resign. The ostensible reason for his re-
tirement is that he suffers greatly from asthma.
and his physician warns him against the Wash

ed eye, but microscope will show
them plainly, even though the clay be
so fine that it feels like -four, when roll
led between the fingers. The finer the
soil, the smaller the openings, that is,
the capillary tubes or spaces: but they
are always there, if the material is not
melted into mass. The practical point
is, the frmer the soil, the smaller will
be the openings through it, and, as ex-
planned above, the higher will water
rise through them.
TO APPLY THIs.-lf in any soil there
is layer, however thin, of gravel or
coarse sand, or of any sand in grains,
at that point there will be series of
larger capillary openings through which
water will not readily rise up from below.
Falling rains may penetrate downwards,
but there is not good set Of very
small capillary tubes to bring the water
up to the plants again.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE.
The writer visited an Eastern farm
somewhat sandy, which, with manuring
was quite fertile ordinarily, but failed
in dry seasons. On digging into it, a
gravel bed from half an inch thick to
two inches or more in thickness. was
found from eight to twelve inches below
the surface. The large capillary spaces in
this did not bring up water enough in time
of drouth. At our suggestion, plow
was run so deeply as to break up this
bed of gravel and coarse sand, and mix
it with an abundance of the very fine
sand above and below. The result was,
a connection of infinitely fine capillary
spaces was established, moisture came
up freely enough for all wants of plants
in midsummer, and there was no more
dying out.
BREAKING PRAIRIEs
often acts similarly. When the rain is
thus enabled to penetrate them, it
washes into the under soil mass of
impalpable earthly material that fills up
the larger openings, in the layers of
coarser soil, and thus is established a
system of capillary openings, spaces
so small that ground before dry is in
part supplied from the reservoir of
moisture far down below the surface.
This water coming up, and eyaporing,
adds to the amount IN the atmosphere.
and thus increases the moisture and
the rainfall also, as explained.
